ISAKOS: 2013 Congress Exhibits

The ISAKOS Congress is the hallmark of our society and provides an international
forum for the world leaders in orthopaedics.
We anticipate the 2013 ISAKOS Congress to draw over 4,000 international
orthopaedic surgeons, as well as allied health personnel, residents and fellows.

ISAKOS thanks all exhibiting companies for their commitment to exhibit at the 9th
Biennial ISAKOS Congress, May 12-16, 2013 in Toronto, Canada.
Based on the continuing increased demand to exhibit at the ISAKOS Congress, our exhibit floor for 2013 has been
expanded.

Exhibitor Service Manual

All pertinent exhibit forms and other critical information, including deadlines, can be found in the
Exhibitor Service Manual which will be available online December 17, 2012. For specific questions regarding electrical, freight, decorating and booth installation, please contact GES:

Customs Clearance

The service of a customs broker is strongly recommended for all shipments originating outside of Canada. This will eliminate the possibility of materials being held at the border by Canada Customs due to improper or insufficient documentation resulting in these same materials arriving too late or not at all to the congress. Mendelssohn Event Logistics has been appointed the official customs broker for the 9th Biennial ISAKOS Congress.

Note: Exhibitors who are importing goods to the event should contact Mendelssohn Event Logistics for customs clearance procedures.

Freight Forwarding

For exhibitors requiring truck, air, rail and ocean transportation and advance warehouse service to transport materials from the exhibitor’s location to the Advance Warehouse (pre-show) or to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre dock for direct shipments, please contact GES Logistics.

Shipping/Drayage

For exhibitors requiring handling of crates and related exhibitor materials on-site from the docks of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre to their booth location, please contact GES. GES’ services including providing the equipment and labor to unload trucks, move materials to the exhibitor’s booth, storage of empty crates and containers, return of empties at the end of the show and re-loading of the exhibitor’s materials on trucks for outbound return shipping. Material Handling Order Forms can be found in the Exhibitor Service Manual.

Note: Exhibitors who are importing goods to the event should contact Mendelssohn Event Logistics for customs clearance procedures.

Exhibitor Activities

Exhibitors must receive permission to hold any educational or social event of any kind taking place over the ISAKOS Congress dates. Please complete the Exhibitor Activities form located in the Exhibitor Service Manual and submit it to the ISAKOS Exhibit Manager by March 1, 2013. For detailed information, click here.
